[New-bugs-announce] [issue7807] test_macostools fails on OS X 10.6: no attribute 'FSSpec'

[Mark Dickinson]

New submission from Mark Dickinson <dickinsm at gmail.com>:

I've been seeing the following test failure for trunk and release26-maint for a while, on OS X 10.6, on a relatively recent Macbook Pro (clean installation of Snow Leopard).  This is from a non-framework debug build (i.e., a simple ./configure && make).

There's nothing glaringly obviously wrong in the build log.
